Isn't it great that amazon exists? Personally, I prefer eBay, but both are essential in today's world. Don't know what we'd do without 'em!

, Noka will undoubtedly be glad to hear that though we do not celebrate Christmas, cats do get special things at this time here, and Tarifa, Suha, and Elvis got lots of extra special food and treats! She is a gorgeous little tigress, btw, and we are very glad she is safely home and much loved, as each and every cat and kitten should be.

I don't think we could survive without Amazon at this point. I like eBay, too, but this time I really needed Amazon's 2 day shipping. I have a prime account, so shipping is free, which is also very helpful. And Wal Mart only has itself to blame. What kind of supposed superstore only has 2 small aisles for all the baby essentials - hats, socks, onesies, sleepers, etc?

When I dropped it it landed screen up, and then was run over by at truck. By the miracle of all xmas miracles only the back plate shattered. 
Everything else is totally fine. Looks like it'll cost $90 to get it fixed, but I'm so just so eternally grateful to have it back at all.

If you order lots from Amazon, do you have an eBates account? It's totally worth having an account with 4% cash back on amazon purchases.
But if your baby is born before December 31 you can claim an income tax deduction and that will come in handy.
She just got a new carrier that's pink and grey and it's super cute she loves it and wants to live in it basically! It will be our fort time on a plane and I'm very excited to be experiencing all of this with my precious Minnie. 
Our daughter was due December 29 and every hour of every day after that we were anxiously waiting but no luck. However, she was a beautiful healthy baby girl and that's what really counts.

Aedan isn't actually due until January 15 but I feel like I've been pregnant forever and I'm in almost constant pain so I'm just ready for it to be over. 37 weeks is perfectly safe and I've made it past that so I'm kind of in a hurry. But, he'll come when he's ready. I hope he decides he's ready very soon.Our daughter was due December 29 and every hour of every day after that we were anxiously waiting but no luck.

When my wife sees that she is going to absolutely love it. I know my wife and that is 5 out of 5
This year I saved all my birthday and Christmas money to put toward a laptop for myself. I love my desktop; but sometimes I need to go shut myself in my bedroom for some quiet time. And since we homeschool I'm finding times I'd love to have something mobile for visuals and things in our little classroom (aka the kitchen table). I finally made the purchase last Saturday. So I'm getting used to it. I keep letting my hand rest on the mouse track pad thingy and it's messing me up typing sometimes. But the real problem? At the moment the laptop is on my desk in front of my desktop. I keep grabbing the wrong mouse or the wrong keyboard and nothing is happening!! My mind is like "what did I do NOW!?" before it realizes I'm just using the wrong one... 
It's about 45 minutes from home. So not too far; but close enough to go to from time to time. We have a couple bouncy-house places within driving distance; but your right there are so few play places in fast food restaurants anymore. My DS cried when they tore down our McDonalds with a play place a few months ago. They rebuilt; but it doesn't have a play place. We have Chick-fil-a and Burger King with them at least. So the kids are happy enough. It's a nice way to reward them from time to time. And sometimes I can read a book or something like that when they are playing since they are a bit older now.
I've thought about doing that before. Maybe someday we will try it. January is a CRAZY month for birthdays with our friends and family. Not all live in the area though so it helps. DD was born on my Grandpa's birthday (my due date was 3 weeks later on my Grandma's birthday!) and her half birthday would be on my other late-grandpa's birthday. So maybe a half birthday would be a nice way to remember him too. I'd REALLY love to get DD and my Grandpa together to celebrate their birthdays; but he lives where they get a lot of snow and I don't drive in that! It would be fun for the kids to play in though.MoochNNoodles how fun! My daughter was born December 23rd, so we had half-birthday parties for her every August. That helped a lot as far as avoiding all the rush before Christmas. Of course she also got presents in December, so one year she told me what she wanted for her “other birthday”. How many kids are as lucky as that?
